Day 160 – Strawberry Festival and more….

Today was packed full- busy but absolutely wonderful! Vinny had to work for a bit so my mom and I went out to run errands and hang out around town and decided to meet up with Vinny a bit later. It was overcast and in the low 70’s, breezy and beautiful. We ended up going to the beach, having a lobster roll and enjoying the view and hanging out for a bit.

We went to the local Strawberry Festival that had live music, many local vendors selling their arts, crafts, aromatherapy products and food. We walked around- purchased some stuff and just hung out talking and relaxing. Then on the walk home we stopped to literally smell the roses that were abundant and so very, very fragrant.

Afterwards, I had to drop Elijah off to the movies with his buddies so I took that time to take my mom to the “Ocean Drive” and show her the multitudes of local mansions, boats and views. We went to the state park at the end of the drive where people were flying kites, walking the jetty and playing sports.

We also stopped at a café I have been eyeing since I moved here but just have never gone into. It is called The French Connection. We took some pics, talked to the girl about my blog for a bit then ordered some “mini” French macaroons, fruit tarts and crème puffs for us and the family. The girl that worked there talked about a blog she wrote once and how she quit cause it was so hard to maintain. I told her how proud I was of my blog and how much it meant to me to do this in memory of my cousin and how it has also has expanded my knowledge of the island and surrounding areas.

This was a fabulous Saturday. We are home now…ordered some pizza, are enjoying some cocktails and ready to watch a movie. #Cheers #HGAL
